iOS Xcode keyboard done button function

I just can't make the "Done" button to quit the keyboard.

I used this in my controller.h file

- (IBAction)textFieldDoneEditing:(id)sender;

and this for my controller.m file

- (IBAction)textFieldDoneEditing:(id)sender {
  [sender resignFirstResponer];
}

and I'm mixed up in wiring the .xib part.

Make the controller a delegate of the UITextField/UITextView in IB or from code like textField.delegate = self;

Editted: For this you need to declare the controller a delegate of UITextFieldDelegate/UITextViewDelegate as

@interface Controller : <UITextFieldDelegate> { ...

, then override the method:

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField{
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
    return YES;
}

for UITextField and

-(BOOL)textViewShouldEndEditing:(UITextView *)textView{
    [textView resignFirstResponder];
    return YES;
}

for UITextView

Let me make my first contribution: If you have multiple text fields, group them in a @property (strong, nonatomic)

*.h

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutletCollection(UITextField) NSArray *collectingData;

*.m

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)boxes
    {
        for (UITextField *boxes in collectingData) {
        [boxes resignFirstResponder];
    }
    return YES;

}

In your .xib, right click on your text view, drag to "File's Owner", and click "delegate". Should work now?

Edit: Whoops, sorry I'm an idiot, do what that other guy says. If you don't know how to set the delegate in code though, you can do it my way in IB.
